Visited this beach off-season in mid-winter and was quite impressed with picturesque landscape. Beach’s depth is pretty deep comparing to neighboring LI beaches (Jones Beach, Fire Island, Coney Island). Parts of the beach were inundated and it created some interesting walk paths around flooded areas (might have been more fun to cross them in summer time).
This beautiful beach is one of many on the island, and we chose to visit this one mainly based on the parking cost, which was $15 for Nassau County residents and $37 for other visitors. It's cheaper compared to other nearby beaches that charge up to $50 for parking. A small hut was located near the entrance to the beach, with bathrooms and showers in decent conditions and a small kiosk selling hot dogs, fries, nachos and beverages. That was the only place to actually buy food or drinks as there was nothing else on the beach, not even a small vendor selling chilled sodas from a cool box. That goes for any other amenities as well - you have to bring everything (and also take everything out with you) you'd need for a day, including sunbrella (as there is zero shade and no rentals), seats or refreshments. The beach itself had two watchtowers with lifeguards on duty, allowing swimming in a relatively wide section of the beach. However, there were signs warning of rip currents, and most people stayed close to the shore anyway. The water was clean but not very clear, with some seaweed floating around. The sand was amazing—white-ish, smooth, and powdery— so be prepared to bring some of it home stuck to your feet. I was able to find some shells around, but not many. Even though there were many people on a hot, sunny Sunday afternoon, the beach didn't feel crowded, and people generally behaved well, with no excessive noise or loud music. This beach is also a good spot for birdwatching, especially near the dunes where there are fenced areas for nesting birds. However no pets or dogs are allowed on the beach or in the dunes. Despite the beach park advertising a dog park, you still need to pay for parking to enter it, which doesn't make much sense to me. Visited on a Sunday, July 2023. Paid by card.
A wonderful beach, great if you like a clean landscape not littered with trash and garbage (who does?!). This beach is a wonderful place especially if you enjoy wildlife, housing tons of sand crabs and even much larger crabs within the ocean (1-2ft long) so mind your toes!
My favorite beach can’t complain it’s so clean and people friendly.
Best beach club in the area! Clean beaches and really good lifeguard staff. Parking is right next to beach entrance. Heaven on Long Island!
